Let's add a flag that corresponds to IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED, indicating that we're dealing with a memory region that is never indicated in the firmware-provided memory map, but always detected and added by a driver. Similar to MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG, most infrastructure has to treat such memory regions like ordinary MEMBLOCK_NONE memory regions -- for example, when selecting memory regions to add to the vmcore for dumping in the crashkernel via for_each_mem_range(). However, especially kexec_file is not supposed to select such memblocks via for_each_free_mem_range() / for_each_free_mem_range_reverse() to place kexec images, similar to how we handle IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. We'll make sure that memory hotplug code sets the flag where applicable (IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED) next. This prepares architectures that need CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, such as arm64, for virtio-mem support. Note that kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory. Let's add a comment to kexec_walk_memblock(), documenting how we handle MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED now just like using IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED in locate_mem_hole_callback() for kexec_walk_resources(). Also note that MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG cannot be reused due to different semantics: MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG: memory is indicated as "System RAM" in the firmware-provided memory map and added to the system early during boot; kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second kernel and can place kexec-images on this memory. After memory hotunplug, kexec has to be re-armed. We mostly ignore this flag when "movable_node" is not set on the kernel command line, because then we're told to not care about hotunpluggability of such memory regions. MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED: memory is not indicated as "System RAM" in the firmware-provided memory map; this memory is always detected and added to the system by a driver; memory might not actually be physically hotunpluggable. kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
